In my area modded xj's will wave back but wrangler guys are to busy flexing and fixing there blow out hair dues or cLeaning there mirrior glasses. One guy i pass all the time has a new wrangler with every possible off road item you can have on it and not a scratch on it "spotless" i just shake my head at him in shame.

Stephen Colbert was actually talking about this on his show last week, and the long tradition of cherokee (even though he showed a pic of a wrangler) drivers giving the two fingers and kind of a clenched fist wave to each other. I did this to another xj and got no love back.

When I had my TJ I'd wave at all other Wranglers (minus JKs) and any lifted XJs. Most of the Wrangler owners wave back but not all - the XJ owners all did.

I am noticing this a lot since driving my XJ to work, and I think it is super cool, but at first I kept thinking to myself " do I know that person". LOL

I pretty much knew that would happen. I have not got a chance to really drive mine far but I know people will like it. I'm in the process of upgrading the intire cooling system with hi-flow components. I can tell and never would I have thought that people love their jeeps so much. I already love mine so I guess its natural to love em'. I used to have a 2005 350z and it was the same way. Funny when I owned my 2002 F-150 v8 5.4 no one really cared but mine was clean.

Got a thumbs up from a very nice looking Wrangler a few days ago. It was nice to see he can appreciate a JEEP Jeep. ;]

I thought it was neat how when I got my wrangler in 1997 that others would wave. The CJ owners would not, except once in awhile a friendly CJ would wave. This year was wierd though from about mid January nobody was waving at nobody but one TJ driver did. It was like they all knew I was secretly plotting to trade the YJ for an XJ. Since I got my XJ nobody waves. Some will look as if wanting to. Wheres the Love?
